6.SECURE TUNNELING AND SDT CONNECTOR

Introduction

Each Console Server has an embedded SSH server and uses SSH tunneling. This enables one Console Server to securely manage all the systems and network devices in the data center, using text-based console tools (such as SSH, Telnet, SoL) or graphical desktop tools (VNC, RDP, HTTPS, HTTP, X11, VMware, DRAC, iLO etc).

To set up Secure Tunnel access, the computer being accessed can be located on the same local network as the Console Server, or attached to the Console Server via its serial COM port. The remote User/Administrator then connects to the Console Server through an SSH tunnel (via dial-up, wireless or ISDN modem); a broadband Internet connection; an enterprise VPN network or a local network.

To set up the secure SSH tunnel from the Client computer to the Console Server, you must install and launch SSH client software on the User/Administrator’s computer. It is recommended that you use the SDT Connector client software supplied with the Console Server to do this. SDT Connector is simple to install and it auto-configures. It provides all your users with point-and-click access to all the systems and devices in the secure network. With one click, SDT Connector sets up a secure SSH tunnel from the client to the selected Console Server and then establishes a port forward connection to the target network connected host or serial connected device. It will then execute the client application that will be used in communicating with the host.

This chapter details the basic SDT Connector operations:

Configuring the Console Server for SSH tunneled access to network attached hosts and setting up permitted Services and Users access (Section 6.1)

Setting up the SDT Connector client with gateway, host, service and client application details and making connections between the Client computer and hosts connected to the Console Server (Section 6.2)

Using SDT Connector to browser access the Management Console (Section 6.3)
